House of the Day: 202 15th Street
This ole South Slope woodframe is very cute and looks to have been lovingly maintained. It last changed hands back in August 2004 for $920,000 and is on the market for $1.2 million. We’ve got no idea if the current owner made any significant improvements but at $600 a foot, this has to be pushing…
This ole South Slope woodframe is very cute and looks to have been lovingly maintained. It last changed hands back in August 2004 for $920,000 and is on the market for $1.2 million. We’ve got no idea if the current owner made any significant improvements but at $600 a foot, this has to be pushing the upper bounds for the area. That said, we all know the square foot metric isn’t always the more useful when looking at smaller houses, where layout can play such a crucial role. What do the South Slopers think of this price?
202 15th Street [Corcoran] GMAP P*Shark
come on folks, stay focused here….you know – on the 15th street house…
I think it will sell for at least a mil…there are probably lots of people who would be happy to have it all as a 1 family – it has a lot of versatility.
personally i think the layout is pretty cool and the house looks great. i even like the paint colors as is.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that Corcoran seems to post prices that aren’t merely high, but are really, really crazy…
No, Bob, my 1:33 comment was in response to Bab’s comment at 1:11, in which she said she’d prefer Lefferts Manor or Bed Stuy over south slope.
Sorry, I can’t control myself. Bob, I agree–it’s a question of what you want. My response to Babs was that I’d prefer south slope over Lefferts because of the amenities and not having to endure Flatbush. If you don’t care about amenities and don’t mind dealing with that stretch of Flatbush, then Lefferts is fine for you. But I also agree that Anon is absurd to say that K-Dog and Enduro means that Lefferts has amenities or is about to get them. It doesn’t. It isn’t.
As for the house: Very cute but a bit small for location/price.
LM would be a great place to live if simply staying alive were not such a challenge there.
Linusvanpelt,
Actually, it was started by Anon. 1:33, who wrote “15th off of 5th isn’t ideal, but I’d MUCH MUCH MUCH rather be there than Lefferts Manor, Stuy Heights or anywhere else in Bed Stuy.” I merely wanted to point out that LM could be ANOTHER valid choice, for those so-inclined, without making any invidious comparisons with other neighborhoods. I have no quarrel with anyone who prefers to live in ANY other neighborhood in Brownstone Brooklyn.
4:09– private school is fine, but if you’re spending over a mil for a house, it’s often because that’s the most you can possibly spend. Private school tuition for one child is the monthly equivalent of several hundred thousand dollars’ mortgage, for however long you send them there. Double it for two kids. Add the lost income from not having a rental in a single-family covenant house–that’s another few hundred K in equivalent mortgage.
Nothing against Lefferts–you do get more space, the houses are gorgeous–but those are all unignorable factors in the overall calculus.
Seems that floorplan and some of the pics have changed from earlier today.
Anyway – fans and haters of this other nabes – doesn’t matter. Question is about this house in this location – does price seem about right. Base it on recent sales, current listings, etc – has nothing to do if works for you personally or what other area you would choose.
Enduro will be lucky to survive the winter. It sucks and its days are numbered.
